The degree of soil microbial re-establishment and stability were evaluated on eight reclaimed mine soil sites varying in age, soil characteristics (topsoiled and nontopsoiled), vegetation, and type of post-mining revegetation treatment, and compared with an undisturbed reference site. Emphasis was on the recovery and distribution of fungal populations. The oldest nontopsoiled mine soil site (1974) exhibited high numbers of fungal propagules, but a low diversity of fungal genera. The similarity in terms of the low numbers of fungal propagules, the relatively high diversity and evenness of fungal genera, and the similarity in genera of fungi isolated between the undisturbed site and the oldest topsoiled mine soil site (1978), suggest that the fungal community may have begun to stabilize four years after topsoiling and revegetation.
